Bang Bang Bang

I love me a good hip hip, yes I do.

Now, now. I know some of you may be complaining "Prez, hip hop? Really?" Chiddy Bang is a different: this Philly-based rap duo consisting of Proto and Xaphoon Jones prides themselves for spilling good rhyme (Proto) on some of the best back-beats I've ever heard (that's where Xaphoon comes in). Have some respect, but even if you don't, you'll love Chiddy Bang.

Since I love these guys so much, and they're only starting to climb the musical ladder into the cloud that is mainstream music (eugh), I am not going to post download links for the following tracks.

Their new album (shown above) is not yet available on iTunes and, to be honest, I don't exactly know where you can purchase it now, but I'll keep you all posted. For now, just enjoy :) If you're able to track down a download link (if it's free and legal), or a place to buy the CD, let me know in the comments.

Name the samples, too. You'd be surprised - I bet this kid reads ilictronix :P

A few things, it is not their new album. It was released in October 2009 for FREE. I think the download link has expired. They have also released another "mini-mixtape" last month. That was also free, and i downloaded it from their myspace (myspace.com/chiddybang) at the bottom.
